Things I Should Change to Help My Anxiety

I’ve never really looked into things other than medicine that could help ease my anxiety. I thought the medication I take would be fine. Well, obviously I was wrong. There has been this weight on my chest and I’m ready for it to go. So, I conducted some research and here’s what I found…

What I found that helps others…

Having a set routine

Setting goals

Yoga/Meditating

Writing

Making a gratitude list

Talking

Essential oils

There were several other processes that help but these are the ones I heard the most. Now, I decided to make my list of what helps me…

What I do to help my anxiety…

That’s a pretty sad list. Now, I do take medication to help with my anxiety and depression, but it only helps so much. I need to start changing how I live my daily life, so my disorders stop taking over.

So, I started thinking yesterday, that I need to make some changes to help ease my anxiety and depression. I did some research, by research I asked some of the mental health groups I am part of on Facebook to get some ideas. So, thanks to Facebook and Pinterest, I came up with a list that is right for me. With this list, I am challenging myself to stick to it and finally get the help I need.

If you have any ways that help you ease your anxiety or even depression, let me know! I’d love to learn what helps you! Also if you try my little challenge let me know what helps!

I would say that yoga helps with mine, mainly because it’s the one time my brain really shuts off. It’s the one time when it’s not a constant bombardment of BILLSKIDSWORKLIFEBULLSHIT. I’m just concentrating on getting the pose right and breathing right. It’s incredible how good I feel afterward, and I recommend it to anyone. And I agree with ashley, coloring has been helping my anxiety SO much lately.
